    It was a rough day yesterday at Nebraska Kearney.  4.6 million dollars in budget cuts throughout the university forced them to cut $450K from the Athletic Dept.  Adios mens baseball, tennis and golf.

      "NU receives 13 percent of the state’s general fund, but is being asked to take roughly 34 percent of the total cut being imposed across state government."

      Texas is getting hit hard as well. It's not a great time for higher ed.

      The truth is this is not unique to Nebraska, however, it does seem to be unique to states that currently have a sitting Republican governor with Koch brother support. Walker has done a real number on the University of Wisconsin system. Why is this bad? Becuase the university systems in rural states tend to be one of the most important economic drivers within a state. Not only do they train the next generation of workers, but they also provide valuable resources to farmers, ranchers, small businesses, and more. Diminishing the University systems to correct self-imposed budget shortfalls will overall weaken the state's economies and opportunities for future growth, as well as encourage, rather than discourage, the "brain drain." That rural states are already facing.
